Official Student Debt Cancellation Watch Thread

Sounds like you're placing the bulk of the responsibility for loan relief on the borrowers.

That's the way real world works unfortunately. You know that.


Anything in life you want you have to fight like your life depends on it.

We told them.

I'm the bad guy because I'm telling people to advocate for themselves.

You don't even believe that

He said he'd waive 10k. Didn't do it. Instead of restarting payments while we're marred in inflation? While his approval ratings are historically bad to the point people wonder whether he'll even run again?

When is the last time the WH got any good news. It's been a downward slide after since Afghanistan...

I think Biden doesn’t care. The rumor was that he told his close friends that he would seek one term. He sees himself as a “transitional” president. So he thinks whoever succeeds him will pass real progressive legislation. He is basically warming the bench for the next Democratic nominee.

They're clearly trolling at this point. I just turned 28 in November. I have hella more election cycles to never vote Democrat again.

Is that really the plan? There won't be a democratic presidential nominee to fulfill all the progressive legislation that his admin failed to pass. Issa wrap like Chipotle

Biden is moonwalking on the voters' backs right now.

Yeah I’ve already come to terms with it. One things for sure tho. Dems won’t get anymore of my votes.

are you a 1 issue voter? Because this post is actually laughable

Only explanation is he doesn't know or doesn't give a fukk. This is bad policy - economically AND politically. The president may be unable to cancel student loan debt (for federal loans)...but he can clearly delay payments. He could delay them as long as he's president in fact. Now is not the time to restart.

The WH is delusional. They're looking at top level numbers and saying yup the economy is doing great. Which may be true but given inflation, rising rent etc etc...it's not being felt by ordinary Americans. Anything to help folks is welcome. Especially fukking now, with inflation running wild. What the hell are they doing...

I would argue, economically it’s a great time to restart. 2 years of no payments or payments going to directly to principle is something that student loan borrowers would dream of before it actually happened. Along with low unemployment people should be ahead of where they were before March 2020.

Now politically, this is a disaster and as tone deaf as it gets. First off, extending the deadline and claiming that republicans won’t let them pass student loans reform and he won’t restart payments until there is some kind of reform gives the Dems something to run on in 2022. Omicron is also a great excuse to keep the extension.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

fukk Joe Biden. Literally had one job.... One job to do. Pass compromised legislation and claim a victory lap. Can't even do that.

Offer 10k of student relief and then tell your base "Is this FDR enough for y'all?" Clown shyt.

This make no sense. I am not saying you're making shyt up but if your intention is to be a 1 term president wouldn't you want to pass a bunch of executive orders that actually help people to maintain people's inspiration to vote? Also what Democratic nominee? Harris and Pete? Those two are more unpopular now than they were during the 2020 presidential elections.

 

[Wargames]

everyone is mashing buttons on twitter and tiktok instead of emailing and calling their reps

You’re absolutely right

Find Your Representative | house.gov

^ call or email your representatives and let them know. fukk a “tweet” those old fukks barely understand what that means. They are so use to the public not holding them accountable this might fix things.

Idk…. In the case of Pete I honestly think he could make a run still. He’s not nearly as tied to this fukkery as Kamala, and the stuff he said about the roads being racist actually made him look good to black people.


His husband and him can run as the millennial presidents and I think it works.

I’m only responding to Biden not being it. I wasn’t talking about you in particular. I didn’t realize until just now how that chain of posts went lol.

Biden’s career is dedicated to the financial sector that pays zero star taxes in Delaware. He doesn’t care and he helped create a lot of the student loan issues. He just said shyt to get elected. Just work on your local issues to start a movement organically.

Isn’t this disingenuous?

The student loan pause was one of numerous measures that were taken during the start of the pandemic. Every thing that was halted has resumed except for student loans.

Biden has been consistent on wanting student loan reform through legislation and he’s never said he wasn’t going to do the 10k forgiveness. He also has made it much easier to have your student loans forgiven if you are a government or non profit worker
